Mr. Speaker, the average family will spend almost $1,000 more on groceries in 2022. That is in addition to the rising cost of food, gas, unemployment and housing. That extra $1,000 for food alone is equal to a Canadian worker's average income. Quebeckers and Canadians have had enough. When will this government step up and take meaningful action to tackle the rising cost of living that is affecting us all right now?

Mr. Speaker, according to Statistics Canada data released just this morning, 200,000 jobs were lost in January and the unemployment rate is now 6.5%. Those are real numbers, not the numbers the minister has been playing on repeat all week. People are struggling. The cost of living is soaring. People have less money in their pockets now, all because of the Liberal government's decisions. Meanwhile, what have the Liberals been doing? Spending, spending, spending. That has a direct impact on inflation. When will the government take care of what really matters: jobs and the cost of living that is affecting everyone?
